Qaf / Qaf |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an (Thou art Allah's Apostle). |
2 |
But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing! |
3 |
"What! when we die and become dust (shall we live again?). That is a (sort of) Return far (from our understanding)." |
4 |
We already know how much of them the earth takes away: with Us is a Record guarding (the full account). |
5 |
But they deny the truth when it comes to them: So they are in a confused state. |
6 |
Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it and there are no flaws in it? |
7 |
And the earth-We have spread it out and set thereon mountains standing firm and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs) |
8 |
To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah). |
9 |
And We send down from the sky Rain charged with blessing and We produce therewith Gardens and Grain for harvests; |
10 |
And tall (and stately) palm-trees with shoots of fruit-stalks piled one over another |
11 |
As sustenance for (Allah's) Servants; and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection. |
12 |
Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the people of Noah the Companions of the Rass the Thamud |
13 |
The `Ad Pharaoh the Brethren of Lut |
14 |
The companions of the Wood and the people of Tubba; each one (of them) rejected the apostles and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them). |
15 |
Were We then weary with the first Creation that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation? |
16 |
It was We who created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. |
17 |
Behold two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and not them) one sitting on the right and one on the left. |
18 |
Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him ready (to note it). |
19 |
And the stupor of death will bring truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" |
20 |
And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given). |
21 |
And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive and an (angel) to bear witness. |
22 |
(It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil and sharp is thy sight this Day!" |
23 |
And his companion will say: "Here is (his record) ready with me!" |
24 |
(The sentence will be:) "Throw throw into Hell every contumacious Rejector (of Allah)! |
25 |
"Who forbade what was good transgressed all bounds cast doubts and suspicions; |
26 |
"Who set up another god besides Allah: throw him into a severe Penalty." |
27 |
His companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress but he was (himself) far astray." |
28 |
He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning. |
29 |
"The Word changes not before Me and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." |
30 |
One Day We will ask Hell "art thou filled to the full?" It will say "are there any more (to come)?" |
31 |
And the Garden will be brought nigh to the righteous no more a thing distant. |
32 |
(A voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you for everyone who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance who kept (his law). |
33 |
"Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious unseen and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him): |
34 |
"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!" |
35 |
There will be for them therein all that they wish and more besides in Our Presence. |
36 |
But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their Sins) stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: Was there any place of escape (for them)? |
37 |
Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth). |
38 |
We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. |
39 |
Bear then with patience all that they say and celebrate the praises of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting |
40 |
And during part of the night (also) celebrate His praises and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration. |
41 |
And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near |
42 |
The day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth): that will be the day of Resurrection. |
43 |
Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal- |
44 |
The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together quite easy for Us. |
45 |
We know best what they say; and thou art not one to ever awe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning! |
